A golf club has been left mystified after 15 of its new safe hole flags were stolen just days before reopening its course to golfers, according to a report in The Hunts Post.

St Neots Golf Club in Cambridgeshire is now considering getting one of its scuba-diving members to search lakes and waterways on the 110-acre site in case the flags, worth around £1,000, were dumped there.

The three flags that were left out on the 18-hole course were in areas covered by CCTV cameras, which has led the club to believe the person who took the flags knew the layout of the course well.

Each of the flags had been specifically fitted with a "ball lifter" designed by a club member to follow the new set of guidelines outline by the R&A. This ensures that players do not have to touch the flagpoles as a precaution against coronavirus.
